5 things WWE subtly told us on SmackDown: Terrible news for Goldberg, 4-time World Champion possibly turning heel (February 7th, 2020)

#1 WWE throwing a curveball in the main event

A Fatal-4-Way match between Naomi, Carmella, Alexa Bliss, and Dana Brooke took place. It was dubbed as a 'predictable' match, with people expecting Naomi to win since she already teased a feud against Bayley last week and is still fresh from her return.

However, that didn't happen. Instead, she took the fall and it was Bayley's real-life best friend Carmella who ended up winning the match, taking some by surprise. We commend WWE for throwing a curveball.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Carmella makes sense as an opponent, but perhaps they could have had her feud for the title after WrestleMania and be a part of a longer program. Just like Goldberg, she's going to be a filler opponent for Bayley before the latter faces Sasha Banks at WrestleMania 36.

Admittedly, a filler spot was needed but Naomi would have been better for that. Carmella and Bayley have never feuded before and they'll have a quick one-off before the road to WrestleMania 36 wraps up.
